Answer:

4π in ≈ 12.57 in

Step-by-step explanation:

One full revolution (2π radians) is made in 60 minutes. In 40 minutes, the hand moves through an angle θ of (40/60)(2π) = 4π/3 radians. The length of the arc is ...

s = rθ = (3 in)(4π/3) = 4π in ≈ 12.57 in

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert this to standard form. By completing the square, you can do the following:

$(x^2+2x+1)-1+(y^2+4y+4)-4-44=0$

$(x+1)^2+(y+2)^2=49$

This is a circle with center (-1,-2), and radius 7. It looks like the one I graphed below. Hope this helps!
